Speaking of memory, 1t is said that Queen
| VICTORIA has q memory of faces equal to Mr..
| BLAINE's. Whenever q person is introduced
TO her royalty she carefully surveys them
from head to foot, and does it in such cold
| kind of way that people think ii is an in.
! territorial stare, and are apt to feel offended
| at the apparent rudeness. She is simply
making mental notes and storing the face
away in memory TO be recalled fifty years
afterward If the same person is met again.
%.~
The queen has taught her eldest sou, the
Prince of Wales, the same memory lesson, be-
cause she believes it is a training necessary
for royalty. The prince has found it to lie of
| valuable service. He can now recognize a
creditor three blocks away.

| President CLEVELAND is said to be deficie mt
in the memory of faces. He always greets
his visitors in a cordial way, and if he doesn't
remember their faces he never lets them
know 1t. He Will talk right along and draw
the visitor out until the caller drops some
thing In the conversation to remind the pres
ident of their former meeting.

AT the legislative banquet Wednesday night
a member OF the legislature who was about
equally inspired by wine and humor asked
the venerable host of the Merchants hotel to
! join him in toast to the success of the bar
| ber's bill. Sluaring his shoulders to the fu II
proportion of dignity and his face wearing
the aspect Of utmost gravity Col. ALLEN
raised his glass and said: 81 have observed
that it happens every now and then in Amer-
can history that people seem to lose their
reason and the chumps take advantage of
the unsettled state of affairs to get to the
surface. But it doesn't last long. After two
or three years everything settles back to
normal state, the waters clear up, and sensi-
BILE men get into the legislature" Then there
was silence around that end of the festal
board for the space of sixty seconds.

There is something in name, after ALL
The patron OF the high license bill in the
legislature fought little shy of the liquids at
the legislative banquet until course was
served which bore the deceptive des cription
OF the menu, High License Punch" The
name of the grog caught the high license
champion, and the way he gulped down good
old Roman punch under another name was
fun for his colleagues From the way his
lips smacked and his eyes sparkled it was
evident that the honorable member was glad
that the legislature bad not repealed the city
charter.

The prediction that prohibition was going
to revolutionize the Empire city of the South
| is being verified. An Atlanta citizen is re-
s;Sting the collection of his street taxes on
the ground that he is Il Buddhist. If the
whisky famine keeps up much longer in that
section the whole population will be in the
darkness Of paga nism.

IAN Anxious Reader wants to know if a
marriage license obtained i'll Ramsey county
| could be used in any other county. That
| depends. If it was wanted to stop hole in
81 broken window pane it would be valid.
! But if it was wanted as authority for some
| judge or minister to unite two people in the
| bonds of holy wedlocll it would have to be
used in the county where it was issued.
| Proxy marriages are not recognized IN Min
| neSoa.

j. ST. MAUR-I have been in the theatrical
| business a long time, but never got mixed
up with Il mob until the night of the PATTI
concert in Minneapolis. 1t gave PATTI Il
!
audience in st. Paul. am GLAD to learn that
the better class of Minneapolis people were
not responsible for the disgracefu affair in
! that city.
| Speaker MERRIAM wants it distinctly I'M
derstood that he is not responsible for the
laches of the legislature. Upon the same
principle the speaker would not deserve
| credit any hat nierht hav hea
DONE Still the eX-speaker is safe to waive
responsibility all around.

| President CLEVELAND was determined that
congress should not throw any of the blame
| for its deficiency on his shoulders. He
! gave the members notice last evening that he
| would be in his room at the capitol to stay all
! night if necessary. And he was there sign
| ing bills as fast as they were sent in to him.
| When there is work to do the president is
| always on hand with his sleeves rolled up.
~
The legislature made another night of It
| The hands of the clock were turned back and
midnight did not come in the capitol until the
| last cock growing. Two nights of revelry in
| succession is pretty hard on the legislators.
But they will have long rest nova good
long rest for some of them.

JAMES MONROE TRoTTER, the colored man
whose nomination for recorder of deeds of
the District of Columbia was rejected by the
Republican senate yesterday, served in
colored regiment in the Union service during
| the late war. and was promoted to lieuten-
antcy for his gallantry. He was eighteen
| years in the Boston postoffice, and was dis
| charged in 1854 on account of offensive parti-
.,I,
CLEVELAND for the presidency.

| Old Settler-I have no patience with these
| interurban Mugwumps. The prosperity of
city depends largely upon the loyalty OF it's
| population.
| From the way that he is making himself a
nuisance in congress 6, Senator EDMUNDs lays
himself open to the suspicion of being q
dotard. A man who is old and cranky doesn't
make safe presidential candidate.

The adjournment of the legislature lifts a
great burthen from Mr.. DONNELLY'S shout
der. 1t lets him back to the quiet shades of
Nininger to reflect upon the unreliability of
political rs in general and members of the
legislatu re in particular.
